Babs (Barbara Stray-sand)'s Story...

Barbara Stray-sand (aka “Babs”) earned her name because she was found as a stray during a week of heavy rain. Although it’s clear she lived indoors at some point in her life, her foster mom thinks she must have been on her own for a while. After just a few days adjusting to life indoors, she has become the sweetest, most mild-mannered cat ever. When she was first found she was very dirty, and she’s so easygoing that she even let her foster mom give her a bath! In her future home, she would like to spend her days lounging in a ray of sunshine, and her evenings cuddling up with you and a fuzzy blanket. She has a funny little meow, and she can be quite a conversationalist! She is fine with other low key cats. She is ok with gentle dogs and children. Barb is quite vocal and answers when you call her. She likes to be where you are and loves her human. She is a very clean cat- uses her box and scratching post. She is a great cat for a busy person.

About Our Rescue Group...

Fancy Cats Rescue Team was founded to provide the community a "safety net" for cats and kittens that are abused and abandoned, or added to the euthanasia list at the shelters that we are currently participating with. We are a 501 (c) (3) Nonprofit Organization and participate with the United Way/CFC #8929. The goal is to have no kill shelters in place. Education and responsible pet ownership are the foundation of our organization. Our program provides literature, counseling, referral services and educational resources to families and individuals needing guidance. Teaching people responsible pet guardianship by spay and neutering their pets, behavioral modification and health concerns. We also provide a mentoring environment for our youth volunteers where they can learn the rewards of community service while caring for animals that need their gentle, loving kindness. They also interact with the community providing self-confidence and the ability to interact with a variety of cultures and diverse backgrounds. Once an animal is received into our program, they remain with us until a safe, appropriate home is found. They are never euthanized based on their age or space limitations. They are given appropriate medical care, immunizations, spays or neuters and endless hours of tender, loving care. We are an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff. We are funded by community donations, 91% goes toward the care and well being of our animals. Our adoption fees help offset our veterinary bills.

Our Adoption Process...

Our adopters fill out an application that screens for problems that may be detrimental to our cats and kittens. Once the adopter is approved we provide veterinary referrals which help with low cost spays or neuters for the kittens that are too young at the time of adoption. We are always available to help with behavioral issues that arise. We provide numerous information sheets in our adoption folders, plus the medical background of each cat. The only fees involved with our program are adoption fees that offset our veterinary bills.
